yes you would have been positive on an HIV test if they were real ARS symptoms but they weren't because you NEVER HAD A RISK.

from dr handsfield to you:

You had protected sex.  Condoms work and hand-genital contact never transmits HIV. All the business about possible minor exposure to secretions despite the condomr about boils on your skin make no difference; HIV is harder to transmit than that.  Your symptoms are not typical of HIV and should be no cause for worry; most of what you are experiencing are just the physical manifestations of anxiety and guilt over a sexual choice you regret.

kindly move along...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Thank you. My anxiety is high I plan on going back at 12 weeks to get the CDC approved conclusive result. But i want to go back at 6 weeks just to gain some reassurance but I was curious if I would even see a difference between a 33 day test and a 43 day test, I know they say 28 days is considered close to 90% and 6-8 weeks is 98% im just extremely anxious and want to feel more comfortable and reassured with my 4.5 week test. Any thoughts

33 days is not conclusive, 3 months is.  It's not likely for a test to turn positive after 6-8 weeks, but the official guideline is still 3 months.
